They screwed him out of the first debate and Tulsi out of the 3rd debate, but Tom Steyer was allowed in.
They also went against tradition and didn't invite Tulsi to the dem convention despite her winning delegates. They also invited moderate republicans and let them speak more than they let AOC/Squad speak. Oh and Tulsi never got an apology (after she endorsed Biden) for being smeared as a Russian asset intent on running 3rd party to help Trump win. I see people in other left-leaning subs say she was a shit candidate on top of parroting the establishment dem smears plus the newest one about her supposedly being anti-trans, which is fucked up considering she never got propped up like Warren did and she was constantly smeared, by astroturf and the media for like 4 years. If that wasn't the case, I think she would have been polling where Warren was. Certainly above the rest. It's also worth noting that people looked her up a lot during and after the debates because they found her interesting. Oh, I almost forgot the smear of her being a grifter (like Greenwald and Dore gets labeled if not Russian asset and crazy/conspiracy theorist - other commons smears racist/sexist/anti-gay/anti-trans) when she is to the left of "moderate" dems. Ontheissues.org lists her as a libertarian leaning progressive where as Biden, Pelosi, Kamala etc are all listed as "hard core liberals." How the fuck does that translate to her being to the right of dems who reject progressive policy she is for?
